25NL, bottom set on monotone flop, best line?

As I posted in the beginner's circle, I'm a 10NL player trying to move up to 25NL (properly rolled), but seem to get killed @ 25NL every time I do. I was advised to post HHs, so I'll post a few hands from my last 25NL session a few days ago. Anyways:

I was pretty sure that the pf raiser would cbet the flop if checked to, which is why I didn't lead out. Should I have raised the flop more? I'm normally willing to go broke with sets on monotone flops (barring a read of an already made flush), but should I be, or is this a leak?

Sorry about the HH format, but since I don't have 10 posts I can't post converted hands b/c they contain image links.

It's fine. Hands like this are not where you're losing money.

I agree 100%.

Maybe you should post some stats as well -- it helps, trust me

When posting stats, do you guys typically just take a screenshot from PT, or just post the important ones (VPIP, PFR, etc.)?

Euphoricism - Also, I'm pretty sure I played @ a table or 2 (on Stars) with a "euphoricism" a few days ago. Was that you (or just someone that stole your sn)?
